    The Leopard 2AV has full turret protection over a 50° arc, just like the Abrams according to British documents. The Leopard 2/3 has protection over a 60° arc. The series production Leopard 2 also has full turret protection over a 60° arc according to the Swedish leaks (or KMW was at least providing protection values for the 1979 model Leopard 2 from -30° to +30° from the turret centerline).

     

     

    Rolf Hilmes wrote that the base turrets of Leopard 2 tanks upgraded to the 2A5 configuration were modified with "D" technology armor. There was a German armor package capable to resist the 120 mm LKE1 (DM43) APFSDS without wedges offered as upgrade option to Leopard 2A4 users during the 1990s. There is more evidence that base armor in "D" technology was created than otherwise.

     

     

    Based on the following image, the "Type D" armor is refering to the follow-up armor package to the "Type C" armor tested in 1987:

    Type B: 350 mm vs KE along the frontal arc,

    Type C: 410-420 mm vs KE along the frontal arc,

    Type D: not revealed, still in development at the time

     

     

     

     

     

    Can you tell me the name of the book?

  2. Hey guys. This is my first post in this forum.

     

     

     

    I want to find out sources for 2 information.

     

     

     

     

    Firstly, a friend of mine told me about the accuracy of T-80B tested in 1980s.

     

     

     

     

     

    T-80B      1000m   1500m     2000m

                    

                    87%       66%       46%

     

     

     

     

     

    I asked him where he found this data. But he told me he forgot where he did find this since too much time passed from that moment.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The Second one is about Russian ballistic computer's range-finding rate.

     

     

    One day, one of my friends who speaks russian quite well showed me a product info. of russian(maybe ukrainian) gunner's primary sight.

     

     

    It was written that range-finding rate of the sight after laser fired-off 0.3~3.0 seconds. 

     

     

    I totally forgot the address of that product brochure.

     

     

     

    I'd be very appreciated if you help me finding links of these information.
